Team Mirai Party - Japan

Description

Existential Hope:

“Japan has a political party that turns citizens’ conversations with AI into law. A citizen tells the party Team Mirai about a problem via an AI chatbot. AI asks follow-up questions and drafts a policy proposal. If enough other citizens back the idea, it becomes an official proposal that the party’s lawmakers might submit to the national legislature.

Engineer and novelist Takahiro Anno founded the party in 2025. It won a seat in Japan’s upper house that July, then eleven seats in the lower house in February 2026 on almost 7 percent of the vote. Many of its bills are small and uncontroversial, such as extending HPV vaccination to men or better school support for kids with learning disabilities.”
